We animals are artists despite the reluctance of
humans to believe this. They prefer to see our creative efforts as a
instinct. It is o.k. if what we do is "territorial marking". But art
is considered for humans only. Every art animal has had their sense
of the Beautiful reduced to "vertical marking behavior". Our behavior
is not random pawing . It shows a great sense of structure and form.
It is futile to argue these fine points with humans. Instead the
executive committee of ACGS has set up a sub-committee to sponsor an
open Animal Art Show. All submissions are welcome. Please e-mail your
art as a GIF or JPEG file attached to an e-mail description of your
work. Send all work to
glande@voicenet.com
. If you can not scan your work e-mail the Art Committee for further
details.
